Details of this retreat
Write to unravel confusion, to understand, to question, explore feelings, honesty, to heal and break silence. Art guides us to new experiences and engages the present moment to work within. Exploring yourself through your creations and connecting with your emotions.
We invite Black, Indigenous, and Women of color who identify as LGBTQ+ to explore their shared hurts and wounds in a safe space. This workshop reminds us that every person has artistic wisdom inside that is asking for an outlet; that in community we can write together to support and encourage this creative release. With this kinship, we can connect around healing the individual & social transformation. With our shared words we have the opportunity to acknowledge our beauty and strength.
This is a non-clinical workshop & is open to every level of writing/art; beginners or experienced to provide participants tools to understand their own trauma.
